text: Curt Arens Finding Ways on the Farm to Utilize Red Cedar Husker Home Place Nebraska foresters are trying to find new ways on the farm to make use of the state's fastest growing wood resource. Published on: December 26, 2011 When I was a kid, five or six neighborhood families would pile into pickups and trucks around Christmas time and drive over hill and dale in grazing land along the Missouri River, searching for the perfect red cedar Christmas tree. In the days before plastic trees were so popular and before we operated our own choose and cut Christmas tree farm, red cedar trees were plentiful and made fine Christmas trees. They were always very brown when we cut them from the pasture, but after a few days in water, they greened up surprisingly well, and their aroma made the house smell like the holidays. CEDAR TREE RESOURCES: If foresters and landowners have their way, red cedar trees may become less of a nuisance to grazing land and more of a valuable resource. I can even recall one Christmas when the snow was so deep that Dad and I cut a tree from a pasture fenceline not far from home. Mom didn't care for the shape of the tree, so Dad finally walked over several snowdrifts and cut the top out of a red cedar growing in our farmstead shelterbelt. The owner of the pasture where neighborhood families liked to cut cedar Christmas trees had only one condition in allowing us access to his grazing land and growing forest. We had to cut three more trees for every perfectly shaped Christmas tree that we chopped. Back then, some 35 years ago, red cedar trees were already becoming a serious problem as they swallowed up grazing land. Today, the problem has been compounded many times over. Nebraska Forest Service forester for the Northeast District, Steve Rasmussen, tells us that red cedar is the fastest growing forest resource in the state. While our Christmas tree cutting excursions may have thinned a few dozen trees from one pasture, it hardly solved any cedar problems for the landowner. Steve has spent the last several years working with other foresters, landowners and farmers and ranchers researching ways to utilize this cedar resource. Over the years that I have been a journalist, I've written about farmers who have made cedar furniture and cabinets, beautiful cedar homes and woodcrafts. I've written about post peelers that peeled away the outer bark of cedar logs to make clean posts for decoration or for fencing. Woodworkers in my own community even handcrafted a spectacular casket from red cedar not long ago. In all of these projects, I've learned that cedar can be a valuable, beautiful wood resource if it's in the hands of craftsmen who know how to make use of it. At a recent cedar logging demonstration day near Santee, I was able to witness a logging operation that cut old stand cedars, removed the limbs and cut the trunks into chunks eight feet in length. These are then shipped to a processor in Clarks where they will be shaved into premium pet bedding. Foresters, landowners, craftsmen and manufacturers working together will most likely find a way to best utilize our cedar forests, so those pesky cedars aren't such a nuisance, but can actually produce some value outside of a windbreak. Now, if only we could entice folks away from those plastic trees and get a few Christmas tree cutting crews going again. Watch this spring in our print issues of Nebraska Farmer for more on utilizing our red cedar forests.

A Thursday morning accident in Springfield has claimed the life of an Indiana woman.
The Springfield Police Department announced on Friday that Crystal L. Maloney of Bicknell, Ind., passed away from injuries suffered in the accident at the intersection of US 150 and KY 555.
According to SPD, Maloney was traveling west on US 150 around 11:27 a.m. when she ran a red light, which led to her being struck by a truck driven by Steven Drury of Lebanon, who was southbound on KY 555.
Detectives from Kentucky State Police Post 15 and the state fire marshal are investigating a house fire that took the life of Anna Lou Barr, 87, of Willisburg on Sunday night.

Bernard Smalley was born and raised in Washington County. He played five years of varsity baseball and four years of varsity basketball at Washington County High School, and he was the head coach of the WC girls' basketball team for seven years.
Last week it was announced he will now get the chance to take over the Commander basketball team, something he has aspired to do since he was a child.
This story is part of an ongoing series taking a closer look at each of the local races in this May's primary election. The Springfield Sun will visit one race each week through the May 14 issue.
The primary election has been set for Tuesday, May 20, and Washington County will have five local races with something on the line this spring.
When Emma Spalding wakes up in the morning, her first thought is seeing if she can get ready fast enough to watch cartoons (Scooby Doo is her favorite).
The deal is, if she gets ready before her dad, Joey, she can watch her shows until he's ready to take her to school.
She gets dressed first, brushes her teeth and then brushes her hair—in that order, specifically.

Could be Better!! – Upon arriving at this Whole Foods I wondered if this opening would bum Lazy Acres. The second I walk into to Whole Foods I was taken back by the drab lighting and lack of proper display. The worst Whole Foods I have ever seen and I travel about the nation. The produce section is ill in layout yet with vibrant happy lighting could make a huge difference. Lazy Acres is still number 1 for their expansive health food and products. WF is smaller in size yet they need to format to their competition and GLOW! I have no desire to return to this depressed looking store unless I am desiring the WF olive bar and mac-n-cheese.

Victorian Menagerie Save the Date Magnets It's a great design, the photos are just really small on it!
Great Product!
Victorian Menagerie Save the Date Magnets I absolutely loved my magnet save the dates! They were a perfect size and great photo quality. Everyone has complimented me on how unique and beautiful they are. It was so easy to make and great that the envelopes came with the order. The only part that was not perfect is I did not get any emails stating when my order was shipped or an estimated arrival time. Other than that.. no complaints!
Great magnet
Victorian Menagerie Save the Date Magnets The magnet was beautiful, we pick the real color which matched perfect with our wedding colors and theme. Design and feel great. I would recommend this magnet design.
Loved them!
Victorian Menagerie Save the Date Magnets I love these! The design was perfect and I loved the magnet holders. Everyone has received them in the mail and think they are a great idea! The envelopes were great; heavy enough to hold the magnet. They were a tiny bit see through but held up in the mail. The only thing I was a little disappointed with was I had my photos done by a professional so I know the quality was amazing but on the magnet one of the photos appeared a little blurry; I am extremely picky though. Make sure you choose photos that have a lot of light otherwise this may happen. Otherwise these are great and I would totally recommend them!
Victorian Menagerie Save the Date Magnets When I ordered the magnets, the process was so easy and convenient. i loved how you could design it there on the computer and you play with fonts, font size, color, all without making a commitment to the final product. When we finally decided on it, about 5-7 days after I received it in the mail via UPS as they had promised. They send you an email when the product has been shipped, along with a UPS tracking number, so if you're as excited to see them as I was, it allowed you to see that there was progress and that they were not lost anywhere. Upon receiving it, the save the dates came in a nice box, well organized and padded-enough. The magnets are a little thin, and the picture quality is good, but not excellent, but good enough. The picture is NOT grainy though. The colors were what I saw on my computer. So make sure your computer color settings are calibrated. Over all, I am very pleased with the product...and magnet street was the cheapest out of all that I found (I ordered 150 magnets)

PARKSLEY, Va. (AP) - A woman has been charged in connection with the latest of more than 70 arsons on Virginia's Eastern Shore.
State police spokeswoman Corinne Geller says 40-year-old Tonya S. Bundick was arrested shortly after midnight Monday near a vacant residence in the town of Melfa that had been set on fire.
The fire was reported at 11:40 p.m. Monday. It was quickly extinguished and damage was minimal.
Bundick was being held Tuesday at the Accomack County Jail without bond on arson and conspiracy charges. It was unclear if she had an attorney.
There have been more than 70 arsons in Accomack County since November.
Geller said it was too early to say whether the latest arson is linked to the others or whether Bundick was a suspect in the others.

To Fix The Knicks
Can Ernie Grunfeld Bring an NBA Championship back to New York?
Kenneth Shouler
From the Print Edition:
Demi Moore, Autumn 96
In Ernie Grunfeld's corner office opposite Madison Square Garden, two things are immediately noticeable. Near the door hangs an enormous photograph of Patrick Ewing, the Knicks' proudest warrior. In the photo, Ewing's arms are raised above his head, spread like antennas in a "V," celebrating a seventh-game victory over the Indiana Pacers in the conference finals in 1994. The second item of note is the aroma of smoke.
The smoke emanates from a Macanudo Baron de Rothschild. "Just one a day," Grunfeld says, almost sheepishly. Other people say Grunfeld's office is too full of smoke, too often, for "just one a day." "He's always relighting after lunch," says Josh Rosenfeld, the Knicks' director of public relations. "Though it could be one cigar, one very big one."
Grunfeld, president and general manager of the New York Knicks, was introduced to cigars on a golf course several years ago by Mike Gminski, Charlotte Hornets color commentator and 14-year NBA pro. He's been hooked ever since. He even has a humidor with a lid fashioned from a piece of the old 1973 Garden floor, played on by the last Knicks championship team.
It is a late spring afternoon and Grunfeld, 40, has time to relax and draw on a Mac or any number of favorites. He'll try Upmanns, Dunhills, Davidoffs, most anything that his smoking buddies--Gminski, broadcaster Ahmad Rashad and Los Angeles Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchak among them--light up. He's open to new experiences; a good trait for one who must bring together the right pieces for a championship game.
Grunfeld has a friendly, inviting mien, though when talking about his plans for the Knicks he is like a card player holding them close to the vest.
His plate has been full--overflowing--since the start of the 1995-1996 season. First, the entire National Basketball Association had to await the outcome of the union decertification issue, which threatened to wipe out the NBA season. In February, he had to unload two ordinary but high-priced players, Charles Smith and Doug Christie, to make room under the salary cap to deal for free agents this summer. Then he fired coach Don Nelson and replaced him with a more fiery Jeff Van Gundy, whom he hoped would bring back the Knicks' "identity of defense and rebounding" and their "work ethic." In May, the Knicks made a two-year commitment to Van Gundy, 34, a longtime Knicks assistant coach and protégé of Pat Riley.
Grunfeld's best player, Patrick Ewing, has not been dominant enough to deliver a championship. If basketball were likened to a college course, then Ewing's grade is "incomplete." After 11 years and millions in paychecks, the Knicks have not won with Ewing. In his defense, it could be said that whenever he's been double-teamed since 1985, he's had to kick the ball out to Trent Tucker or Darryl Walker, Mark Jackson or Gerald Wilkins, Johnny Newman or Doc Rivers, John Starks or Derek Harper--and untold, nondescript others--who couldn't bury an 18-footer on a consistent basis. Not since Walt Frazier, one of the stars of the Knicks' championship teams of the early Seventies, has the franchise had a guard who could hit jump shots regularly while playing big minutes.
Of 29 teams in the NBA, 27 finish the season earlier than they'd like to. Then one more, the one losing in the finals, must ask what went wrong and what it can do to get over the hump. The Knicks are two good players away--perhaps three--from an NBA championship. The Knicks lost in the second round of the playoffs to the Chicago Bulls in May, four games to one. It was the second consecutive year the Knicks failed to survive the second round in a tournament in which a team must win four rounds for a championship.
For the most part, the New York Knicks have a trench warfare style of play more suitable to the playoffs--the NBA's second and real season that runs from April to June. But the Chicago Bulls, who went on to win their fourth championship in six years, have haunted the dreams of several teams. The Knicks' defeat at the hands of the Bulls marks the fifth time since 1989 that a Jordan-led squad has sent them packing.
Were Chicago to be magically scratched from the league, the Knicks of the Nineties might count themselves a huge success. In the last five years, the Knicks have had a regular-season won-lost record of 270-140, a .659 winning percentage. But in sports, as George C. Scott snarled to Paul Newman in The Hustler, "you don't count yardage." There's only one question worth asking when it's over: Did you win? The Knicks last won an NBA championship in 1973. Being good isn't enough.

For over 15 years, Ethel has been on the edge of chamber music - performing with rockers, on soundtracks, at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and in the Grand Canyon.
Friday evening is a chance to hear the string quartet live and in person, along with Native American flutist Robert Mirabal.
"It's beautiful stuff," quips Dorothy Lawson, artistic director and cellist of Ethel. "There's a profound sense of sinking into an altered space when we perform this program."
The Senate Criminal Justice Committee hearing was to be one of the last phases for a bill that would set up the state's first exoneration commission to examine past wrongful convictions to determine what went wrong.
The hearing began with Sen. Joan Huffman, R-Houston, stating she didn't feel the Tim Cole Exoneration Commission was a needed item, and then it escalated from there.
May is National Preservation Month, and The National Trust for Historic Preservation is asking communities to think of creative ways to engage the public.
San Antonio is doing that with a seminar this weekend on Historic House Museums.
The National Trust has several suggestions for how to be a preservationist, such as:
Conservation Society president Nancy Avellar said they are trying to help some of the museums move into the 21st Century.
Jim Pitts, R-Waxahachie, a house leader on the Legislative Budget Board, said the joint committee has hit snags in several areas, but has reached a tentative agreement on some key spending issues in regard to Senate Bill 1, the state budget bill.
"Hopefully we will have an agreement sometime today on public education," Pitts said, adding that they were discussing $3.2 billion for public education would be taken from the state general revenue and property tax appraisals.
Voters cast their ballots over the weekend and now that the city elections are over - except for two June runoffs in Districts 5 and 8 - the direction of policies in San Antonio will largely continue uninterrupted.
This is mostly to do with the fact that voters chose candidates like Mayor Julián Castro, District 1 Councilman Diego Bernal and District 4 Councilman Rey Saldaña, who all support progressive issues.
From now on political nonprofit groups will have to post any contributions being received from lawmakers or money going towards political campaigns thanks to a bill passed in the Texas Senate and now House.
Bexar County is beginning a new project in its 10-year, $500 million flood control plan, and the public is invited to ask questions about the project at tonight's information session.
The meeting is to inform residents, business people and other members of the public what will be affected by the $8.5 million project on VFW Blvd. near Roosevelt Avenue.
In the first segment:
The low-information voter: The often-complained-about citizen who knows when voting day is, but not enough to make a sound decision on the issues, or candidates.
At least that is what the people who lose think.
This term is often thrown around when "people vote against their interest" or "the media frames an issue in a way to mislead."
The San Antonio Area Foundation has received one of its largest single gifts in its history thanks to a gift bequeathed in the will of Mary Jane K Lewis.
Area Foundation Spokesman Joel Williams said Lewis had been a contributor with her late husband since 1994.
"In her will she left the Area Foundation more than $7 million to manage and to have it in a permanent fund that makes annual grants to local charities," Williams said.
Following the arrest of several deputies in the past week, Bexar County Sheriff Susan Pamerleau told reporters she has implemented programs to address disciplinary problems among deputies and detention guards.
In three separate incidents, two deputies were arrested at their homes in connection with domestic violence issues.
Paul Berry, a sheriff's department spokesman, said that in another incident two jail guards got into a fight Sunday evening.

Charred human remains were found in the cabin where police believe slaying suspect Christopher Dorner had been cornered, San Bernardino County sheriff's officials confirmed at 11:30 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 12.
The cabin burst into flames during a running gun battle in which someone who fit Dorner's description killed one sheriff's deputy and injured another. After the structure burned to the ground, officials said they believed the suspect was still inside.
Authorities will remove the body and conduct a forensic analysis. Police have said identification could take weeks.
Sheriff's officials and homicide detectives will work through the night to examine the crime scene, authorities said late Tuesday.
The Associated Press reported Wednesday morning that Dorner's driver's license was found in the rubble.
The shootout in the San Bernardino Mountains capped a mammoth nine-day manhunt for Dorner that had Southern California police and residents fearful and on edge. He was charged in a Feb. 7 ambush that killed Riverside police Officer Michael Crain, 34, who will be buried Wednesday. Crain and a trainee, who was severely wounded, were sitting in their patrol car when they were shot.
Dorner also is suspected of killing an Irvine couple and injuring a Los Angeles police officer.
Tuesday's dramatic and violent events followed several days with no new leads.
The manhunt kicked into full gear with a 911 call received at 12:22 p.m. Tuesday from a woman who said a man had tied up her and two other people at a Club View Drive home in Big Bear and stolen a purple Nissan SUV. The caller said the man looked like Dorner.
They were found unharmed. It was unclear how long they had been captive.
Sometime later, Dorner crashed the SUV near Jenks Lake Road on Highway 38, nearly 30 miles from Club View Drive. He then hijacked a white pickup truck belonging to nearby Camp Tahquitz.
That driver's report of being carjacked by a man who looked like Dorner sent officers into high alert.
A warden from the state Department of Fish and Wildlife spotted the stolen vehicle heading toward him on Highway 38 at about 12:45 p.m. and turned around to pursue it. The driver fired shots at the warden, hitting the cab and light bar on the state vehicle numerous times, said Lt. Patrick Foy, the department's spokesman.
The warden got out of his truck and fired at the retreating pickup more than 15 times, Foy said. It wasn't known if any bullets struck the vehicle or the driver.
The stolen pickup ended up in a snowy ravine, a sniper rifle in the backseat, according to sheriff's dispatchers. It was found off Glass Road, a steep, winding paved street that drops into a canyon.
The driver took off on foot, igniting smoke grenades as he fled, dispatchers reported. He barricaded himself inside a vacant, 1929 cabin on Seven Oaks Road.
Countless rounds of gunfire between the suspect and police echoed off snowy hillsides in Seven Oaks, a small community of church retreats and fishing camps northeast of Angelus Oaks.
Nail-biting commentary on police scanners gave voice to the drama of the moment.
"We have a suspect holed up in the cabin and we're exchanging gunfire," a sheriff's official said.
At 1:30 p.m., another reported: "Deputies down in the kill zone, waiting for rescue helicopters to get them out."
SWAT officers lobbed tear gas canisters at the cabin to divert the suspect's attention so the injured officers could be evacuated, according to television reports.
The downed deputies were flown to Loma Linda University Medical Center, where one of them was pronounced dead at 2:24 p.m. The other deputy will require multiple surgeries but is expected to recover, according to a San Bernardino County sheriff's news release.
About 4 p.m., a single gunshot was heard from inside the cabin, which caught fire a short time later.
Thick black smoke and flames shot into the air, but officers and fire officials let it burn.
Dorner was fired from the Los Angeles Police Department in 2009 for making false allegations of excessive use of force by his training officer. He posted an online manifesto threatening all law enforcement officers and their families and saying he would stop killing when department officials admitted he was right.
On the mountain, authorities called for an armored vehicle to protect and transport all other law enforcement personnel on the mountain.
As the standoff continued, Los Angeles Police Capt. Andy Smith pleaded with Dorner to surrender.
"Enough is enough. It's time to turn yourself in. Stop the bloodshed. It's time for this incident to be over," he said.
In a news conference at 8 p.m., Los Angeles police Capt. Andy Smith countered reports that Dorner's body had been found inside the cabin, which was still too hot to enter. Protection will continue for those named in Dorner's manifesto, he said
"Until Mr. Dorner has been identified as deceased or he has handcuffs on and is sitting in jail, we're going to proceed on an abundance of caution," he said.
San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors Chairwoman Janice Rutherford said she visited with the family of the wounded deputy Tuesday evening. She did not see the deputy, who was in surgery.
"They're … obviously very stressed and very worried," she said of the family members.
Big Bear Lake Mayor Jay Obernolte said: "We're heartbroken. Words can't express how grateful we are for the sacrifice those men have made in defense of the community and our thoughts and prayers are with them and their families."
Rutherford called the death of the other deputy "just awful, completely senseless."
She said law enforcement officers all realize the danger of their jobs but "you don't like to consider the fact that one of those bad guys is someone we'd have considered a good guy a couple of years ago."
Rutherford, whose district includes part of the San Bernardino Mountains, said many of her constituents are relieved that Dorner may be dead.
"The stress levels were obviously very high," she said of the past week. "Everyone's glad this was resolved. We wish we could have avoided the loss of life."
During the shootout, ambulances stood by at a road block at Jenks Lake Road and Highway 38, where California Highway Patrol officers with rifles were positioned. A helicopter and 20 SWAT officers were on standby at San Bernardino International Airport, a CHP dispatcher said.
All mountain roads, highways 18, 330 and 38, were closed for several hours, and Big Bear schools were on lockdown.

Good to know, though, Barkley has already pronounced the Lakers goners, and here they were Wednesday night pulling a Lazarus while Utah was digging a hole for itself.
Hello, playoffs?
But what about it — goodbye, Clippers, sooner than later?
Barkley told a TNT audience Tuesday night the West has only three NBA championship-quality teams in Oklahoma City, San Antonio and Memphis, while going on to call the Clippers "softer than tissue paper."
I guess he doesn't put much stock in the thug, cheap-shot artist or hard-nosed competitor that is Matt Barnes, who the Clippers consider just plain tough.
I mentioned what Barkley had said to the Clippers' Vinny Del Negro, and I got a coach's response as soft as tissue paper.
"Everyone has their opinions," revealed Del Negro.
Hey, ordinarily I'm a big Clippers honk. And I would quickly come to their defense if they had a half-court offense that was playoff-worthy.
At the very least it would be easy to dismiss Barkley as a clown. You know, someone who talks about having his eyebrows waxed while appearing recently on "The Price Is Right" with NeNe Leakes, Sharon Osbourne and Demi Lovato and playing Plinko.
But I know Barkley as an expert on fool's gold.
I've been with him on the driving range, Barkley hitting sweet shot after sweet shot. His swing looking so promising.
Then the golf tournament begins, and he tries to hit a stationary white ball like it's a mouse on the loose.
Barkley knows what it's like to feel good and then collapse with no idea how to avoid it.
And here we have the Clippers, feeling really good about themselves, but what have they really accomplished?
Do they belong in the same class as Oklahoma City and San Antonio after getting spanked at home by each recently?
Could they beat the Lakers in a No. 3 seed versus No. 6 matchup, the best possible opponent for the Lakers, as Shaq suggested on TNT?
"The Clippers are not legitimate" championship contenders, said Barkley, and so I wonder who Barkley would pick if the soft Clippers met the dead Lakers.
With nothing else to do but watch the Clippers abuse Milwaukee on Wednesday night, why not put the brakes on this joy ride and agree or disagree with Barkley?
Ralph Lawler, the team's long-time broadcaster, said there are things that must go the Clippers' way.

great stylist – best hair cut ive had in some time. i love the people here too. sweet and cool joint. will most likely go back and recommend.
Rich Color, Sweet Highlights, No Waiting – I finally decided to kick it up a notch and add a little bit of color to my flat black style. I let John hook me up with highlights that turned out to look so natural and rich, I absolutely love it! This was my first time to this salon and I was so happy to have an appointment scheduled, and be in and out of there without any unnessecary waiting.
great decor... – My room mate suggested I go to this place. I had a very good experience. From the initial appt to the hair cut... Very good eperience!! Unfortunately, out of the way for me...
GREAT SPOT! – Got my hair did here and it was an awesome experience. Now that I found this place I'm not going anywhere else....ever!
Great stylist – I've changed my hair style about 5 times the last five 3 years...not because, I enjoying keeping up with fashion, but because stylist has ever gotten it right. I made an appoinment to cut my hair and their service was amazing, they took their time to understand what i wanted and they lived up to their promise. I highly recommend this place.
Great Salon – I needed a new place to get my hair done since my usual stylist had moved back to CT to open up her own salon. I decided to start looking around to see if i could find a good place in my area. I came to John Gabriel and the salon was nice and John himself was super nice and very funny. I decided to just go with my instincts and get something done. I got my hair hightlighted and got a hair cut. I usually have a lot of problem with color sticking (and then washing out in a few rinses leaving me with blond highlights which is never what i want!) John did something different and not only has the color held up they look really great. i have had a lot of people ask me where i got my hair done. I almost dont want to tell them bc then hell be booked when i want to go!
Excellent Cut and Color - Highly Recommended – I've been going to John Gabriel Salon for over a year now. I started going to the salon because it's right on my block. I've continued because I've been very happy with the cuts I've been getting. I have curly hair which is difficult to cut. He understands curly hair and is able to listen when you explain what you're looking for. John also does my color and highlights, which are soft and natural-looking. The salon is small and inviting with a relaxing atmosphere. I agree with the previous reviewer who mentions John's sense of humor. He keeps me laughing throughout the appointment.
Best Salon in NYC! – I have been going to the same stylist for three years now but I have recently decided to make the switch to John Gabriel.
My friend has been going to John for years and convinced me to try him out. I gave John a chance and received the best hair cut of my life!! My hair has never looked so good! I love him!
Not only is John a talented hair stylist he is funny! He had me laughing during my entire hair cut. You can tell he truly cares about each and every one of his clients. He spent time explaining which styles would look good on me and why. I really learned a lot from him!
I also could not believe how inexpensive he was! I have never seen such a great stylist in New York charge such low prices.
To anyone looking for a new stylist in Manhattan go to John Gabriel he is the best!!!!
John Gabriel Salon has Moved – John Gabriel Salon is now located in Manhattan at 508 East 12th Street in the East Village. You can make an appointment at 212-375-1818

Getting started
Unfortunately, babies sometimes get sick, and a fundamental clue that things are amiss is a fever—a body temperature that's higher than normal. Most pediatricians consider any thermometer reading of 100.4 degrees F or higher a sign of fever. A fever can be alarming, but except in the case of heat stroke (a dangerous rise in body temperature caused by a sweltering environment, like a car with the windows rolled up in August), a fever by itself isn't an illness. It's the immune system's way of signaling that it's working to fight an infection.
Still, fever is often the first sign of illness, and your baby's temperature reading—coupled with your baby's other symptoms (if any)—will help your pediatrician to diagnose the cause of a fever. But accuracy is imperative. For babies under 3 months old especially, every 10th of a degree counts. The difference between a temperature of 100.3 degrees F and 100.4 degrees F, for example, can determine whether you stay home or take your baby to the emergency room. Any fever in this age group is typically considered an emergency. If your baby is under 4 weeks old, and has a fever of 100.4 degrees F or greater, call your pediatrician immediately. A baby that young with a fever of 100.4 degrees F or higher will most likely need to be hospitalized to rule out serious infection. For babies 4 weeks to 3 months old, it's still an emergency that needs prompt medical attention.
Read more: What to do if your baby has a fever
Thermometer recommendations
For your baby's first thermometer, go with an inexpensive digital model. Look for an LCD display that's easy to read and a start button that's easy to press. But don't be swayed by digital thermometers that claim to take a reading in an instant. A reading in 20 to 60 seconds is quick enough.

The executioner asks if he's got any last words to say. The Brit says, "God bless the Queen and England." The executioner proceeds to the switch, but nothing happens. The executioner tells the Brit, that he'll come back for him. He then goes to the chair where the American is strapped down and asks for his last words. The Americian says, "God bless America." The executioner pulls the switch, but again nothing happens. The executioner tells the American to sit tight because he'll be back for him. He then walks over to the Pollock strapped in the seat and asks for his last words. The Pollock replies, "Yes, you forgot to plug the damn thing up, idiot!

Women in Conflict Prevention, Peacebuilding and Recovery
Women and girls are uniquely and disproportionately affected by armed conflict and disaster. In post conflict and disaster settings, they often suffer from lack of security and are excluded from decision making and participation in economic, social, and political spheres. National laws and judicial systems also remain discriminatory against them. Crisis could provide an opportunity to break down traditional barriers and roles which often limit women's contribution to society, and "to build back better" where inequality is not perpetuated.
Our Goals
To enhance women's, political, social and economic empowerment in armed conflict and disaster settings.
- Strengthens security of women and girls through rule of law, security and justice sector reform, and multi-sectoral prevention and response to sexual and gender-based violence
- Supports women's political participation, empowerment and representation, including in national and local governments, conflict prevention and peacebuilding processes
- Works with national governments to develop policies and services that benefit women and men equally
- Supports economic recovery and reintegration efforts that gives equal livelihood opportunities to women, including access to land and credit
- Works closely with international and national partners on the UN's global policy agenda on Women, Peace and Security and support implementation of UN Security Council Resolution 1325

So it is. Since I have presented both logical and canonical sources that literally state that there is no "true self" in Buddhism I see no need to keep repeating it. Let me know once someone has come up with a clear answer to what that self is they claim to exist.
So far your convictions seems to be built upon impermanence, suffering and what is not the self which marks all of the five aggregates. If this is what you believe to be the heart of the Buddha's teaching, doesn't it seem rather dismal to you? Where is redemption in this bleak outlook?

Our programs are reality-driven.Authentic
Our programs are research-driven.Authoritative
Our programs are experience-driven.Interactive
All Student Success programs reflect the realities of student life. That's why testimonials from real-life students and true-to-life scenarios feature so prominently in all our programs.
Our goal is always to turn what could be mere academic learning into emotionally connected understanding. Nothing accomplishes that better for our viewers than hearing about the actual life experiences of their peers through testimonials, or by being immersed in realistic scenarios on the topic at hand. In fact, approximately 80% of students who view our programs rate the student testimonials and real-life scenarios as Excellent or Good.
All Student Success programs are based on the latest and most relevant research available. For instance: Because research shows students prefer presentations from peers, all our programs are peer-based. But because students listen more carefully to authority figures, each program features informed students leading uninformed ones through the learning process. These choices resonate with students, since approximately 80% of them say they would recommend our programs for their peers.
Our programs also always provide broader context on issues beyond just the learning at hand. In our Sexual Assault Prevention program, for instance, students not only learn proven methods to avoid and escape potential sexual assault situations, but also how things like communication styles, societal norms and media portrayals of rape all contribute to the sexual assault problem.
The leading experts who make up our Advisory Board help us craft and revise our programs, keeping us abreast of the latest scholarly understanding of the issues our programs cover.
All Student Success programs are internet-based and interactive in numerous ways. For instance, when particularly crucial information is being conveyed during a program, a student's own pre-test answer on that topic appears on screen and is compared with the correct answer. This personalized, mid-program feedback is shown to help students better remember key information.
Because our programs are taken online, students take them at times most convenient to them, and can complete them in multiple sittings. When students log back in, the program resumes where they left off.
Upon completion of a program, students have immediate access to their pre- and post-test results, allowing them to see what concepts and information they don't yet fully grasp. Our programs also provide immediate, continuous access for viewers to local and campus resources relating to the program material.
We're happy to report that over 75% of students say our programs are worth the time it took to watch them.

More than anything else, it is the mind that is instrumental in determining sexual performance and sex drive in men and women alike. If men and women were to be given a placebo and told that it is a tried- and-tested sexual performance product, it is likely to have a positive affect upon performance.
Despite this, foods that we consume can play a vital role in determining sexual performance. A rich meal provides nothing more than calories, and is more likely to induce sleep and laziness rather than an active desire for intercourse.
The arousal of passions is far removed from the treatment of sexual dysfunctions. Drugs like Viagra are required to be taken before intercourse each time. Efficacy of aphrodisiacs like hippo snouts and hyena eyeballs are based more on folklore, with no backing of scientific evidence. Treatments like erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation treatment are mostly transient in nature. Natural foods can help in improving sexual performance. They can also help in arousing passions and creating the desire for passionate love making.
Erection is obtained by a process that is closely linked to the circulatory system. Unlike popular belief, erection is not only a male phenomenon. Women have erections that occur in the clitoris and the tissue surrounding the vulva, the external parts of the female genital organs.
Arginine is an amino acid found in proteins. The absence of arginine from the diet can lead to a reduced production of spermatozoa. It is also necessary for proper nutrition. Granola, peanuts, cashews, walnuts, dairy, green vegetables, root vegetables, garlic, ginseng, soybeans, chickpeas, and seeds are all rich in L-Arginine. Consumption of these can go a long way in improving your long-term sexual health. Chili peppers and ginger improve blood circulation and also stimulate nerve endings, a process that helps in obtaining sexual pleasure.
One of the major factors that retard sex drive in women is vaginal dryness. This occurs naturally during menopause. Vaginal dryness makes intercourse painful, leading to a constant refusal to have sex. Soy in the diet helps in vaginal lubrication since it sticks to the estrogen receptors, which determine the amount of lubrication needed by the vagina. Additionally, it also helps in avoiding hot flushes associated with menopause. Soy is also good for prostate health and can help in restricting prostate enlargement, a common cause of lack of sex drive in men.
Obesity is considered to a risk factor for erectile dysfunction. It also causes a reduction in testosterone levels. Natural foods that reduce weight can also boost your sexual urge, desire, and performance.
Alcohol gives a temporary boost to self confidence. Caffeine and sugar provide a short term surge of energy, and like most of the other sexual performance products, only have short-term benefits.
Stress-free and healthy men and women are in a better position to have satisfactory sex. Natural foods and healthy lifestyles (which encourage smooth circulation of blood) eliminate stress and provide nutrition, as well can provide long-term benefits for your sex performance.

Open PC: KDE Nettop with Amarok and Firefox
The Open PC Project wants to construct a fair priced PC for Linux users. The results of a first survey have now been published.
The man behind Open PC is Frank Karlitschek, maintainer of several websites for desktop users and developers (kde-apps.org, gnome-apps.org, opendesktop.org etc.) and also a board member at the current KDE Akademy. Aim of the project is the mass-production of Linux machines which can be sold at a reasonable price. Some of the sales revenues will flow back to those software vendors whose products are chosen for the project.
To decide which software is to be preinstalled on the system and which hardware is principally interesting for the scheme, the Open PC Project held a survey in July and has now published the results. A nettop system (with a netbook to follow), KDE desktop, Firefox browser and Amarok media-player were the most popular choices of the survey. The decision to go with a nettop instead of a notebook was taken against the voting because, according to Open PC, the project should be realized by November this year, and a notebook would take a lot longer.
About half of voters described themselves as inexperienced users with around 40% saying they considered themselves to be experienced. A surprising 48.3% of votes favored KDE as standard desktop with 42.7% for Gnome. The complete results can be found on the project homepage. A second survey has been started dealing with the issues of support, documentation and purchasing interest.

Yes, you read that headline correctly! This morning, I turned down a request from a major Hollywood filmmaker who wanted to use something I wrote in "Frontera," a major motion picture in which five actors — Ed Harris, Michael Peña, Eva Longoria, Amy Madigan and Shea Whigham — will play lead roles.
The request came from Frontera Productions via Ashley Kravitz at Cleared By Ashley, a company that, among other things, helps filmmakers obtain permission from owners of intellectual property to use that property in motion pictures.
Frontera Productions wanted permission to use my poster, "Top 5 Signs Your Neighbors Might Be Terrorists," as set dressing in "Frontera," a film about a sheriff in the U.S. who tries to track down an illegal alien involved with a robbery that killed his wife. According to the film's page at IMDb.com, it's set for release in 2014.
Sadly, I had to turn down this, my first offer from Hollywood via Albuquerque. Why? Because, after I reviewed the proposed release agreement, I found that it included no compensation for the use of the poster that made its first public appearance in a post Aug. 14, 2007. As a result, I simply had to decline the offer.
I did, however, leave the door open for the filmmaker to make an amended offer. I'll let you know if anything comes of it.
Bob McCarty is the author of Three Days In August: A U.S. Army Special Forces Soldier's Fight For Military Justice, a nonfiction book that's available in paperback and ebook via most online booksellers, including Amazon.com. His second book, The CLAPPER MEMO, is set for release this fall.
